Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our classroom is a place where students spend the majority of their day. I want my classroom to be a safe, fun, and calming place for students to learn.

Please help us make our classroom a place where kids learn in a stress-free environment by creating a calming classroom.

We have a treehouse loft in our room, so I want to put LED lights in it so my kids can have a place to read and relax in a calming atmosphere. The vinyl will be used to print out inspirational quotes.
